Changes at Nally Studios!

Big changes are happening here at Scrapbook Update and I wanted to share with the site’s loyal readers what exciting things are planned for you!

Scrapbook Update started its life as a site focused on my passion for the news and trends of the scrapbook industry. For the past several years we’ve been bringing you creative consumer content on Scrapbook Update from a variety of wonderful and talented contributors. Sometimes, though, it is a good idea to take a step back from being locked in the day to day grind, and look real hard at where you are and whether it is really where you want to be. After some soul searching and analysis of traffic and survey data, I’ve decided to make some dramatic changes.

Scrapbook Update is going back to its roots.

What does this mean for the readers? The first thing it means is that, except for special events like CHA and maybe an occasional guest post, Scrapbook Update is going back to being a single contributor site. The site will once again become my voice, like it was at its outset.

Unfortunately this means that we had to part ways with our excellent team of contributors: Stephanie Vetne, Tammy Dailor and Ashley Calder. This new direction for Scrapbook Update is in no way a reflection on their wonderful talents, and I hope that you will continue to enjoy them on their own sites.

The second change at Scrapbook Update is that, as I take back the reins of the site as its sole contributor, I’ll also be taking the site back to the roots of its content. You’ll be seeing more news, and more trends – more of what you told us in the recent reader survey that you value most from Scrapbook Update.

We hope that you are as excited as we are about these changes!
